Installing Zulip requires a fresh server to install it on. This feature alone saves me hours a week.and the down side You read through the threads you're interested in, skip the ones you're not and you're done. There's no hunting around and digging through threads to find things, everything is neatly orgnanized in one spot. The genius of subject lines is that you can quickly and easily catch up on the messages you missed in your off-hours. In fact now it seems strange to me to just fire off messages in Slack with no subject – that's chaos, madness. Once you get out of the Slack mindset and into the Zulip way of doing things it's not a big deal. That does mean you have to write a subject line when you create a new topic, but most of us are pretty used to that with email.

Zulip does the same thing within your streams (a stream is the equivalent to a "channel" in Slack). Part of what makes email a successful communication tool is the subject line it groups related messages in threads by subject line. Zulip takes this model and then borrows a simple idea from email to give you topic-based message threads. This can be done in Slack, but it's awkward and time consuming as you have to read through every channel or topic finding the messages you list. This is arguably the one feature IRC lacks - an easy way to go back and see what people said while you were out. Where Zulip pulls ahead of Slack is how it enables you to easily keep track of asynchronous messages. Many of the features above exist in Slack as well. The terminal app does lack support for changing settings, and of course you won't see animated gifs, but it's much better than any of the terminal clients I've tested for Slack, and it's officially supported by Zulip. There's even support for getting messages from Slack and IRC so you can monitor conversations happening elsewhere all from within the Zulip UI.Īs you would expect, Zulip has apps for all the major platforms, including one that will warm the heart of developers everywhere: the terminal. There are also plenty of integrations with other popular services so you can get notifications about a new bug in Jira, or see alerts from Zendesk and other customer service tools.

Zulip does this as well as Slack, all the features you'd expect are there, everything from the silly, like emoji reactions, to the very useful, like automatcially turning Git commit tags into links to your hosted project. There is much about Zulip that will be familiar to Slack and IRC users, namely reverse chronological real-time chat. But first, what do you get and how is it different to Slack? There are plenty of companies using Zulip, but I was more interested in it from the perspective of a user self-hosting it or a small open source project that wants something more approachable than IRC, but not governed by a proprietary licence.įor that use case, Zulip is close to ideal, with a couple caveats. While that's great, convincing your entire company to ditch Slack in favour of Zulip is going to be a long and uphill battle. It provides commercial hosting and support, which makes Zulip a legitimate Slack competitor even for large organisations that require commercial-grade support. Kandra Labs is Abbott's commercialization of Zulip. At the same time there is a hosted version available as a service, which is run by Kandra Labs. There is the application, which is free and open source - you can run it on your own server (though it does have some significant hardware requirements, more on that in a moment). Today Zulip operates like many open source projects.
